Biostar A320MD Pro, AMD A320 motherboard socket AM4 [A320MD PRO]

The Biostar A320MD Pro is a reliable basic motherboard in micro ATX format and has graphics cards with a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection. Also two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots for other expansion cards ready. Up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory, the two RAM banks take up, whereby corresponding memory can run with a maximum of 2.666 Megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes a header for USB 3.0 and two headers for USB 2.0 for two or four additional ports.

Special features at a glance:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end graphics cards
4x USB 3.0 / 6x USB 2.0
4x SATA 6G
2x PWM fan connectors (4-pin)
DDR4 memory up to 2.666 MHz

Data carriers such as SSDs and hard disks are managed by four SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support). A small highlight on the Biostar A320MD Pro is that there are two USB 3.0 ports with Type A socket at the I / O panel on the back of the mainboard. In addition, two fans with a 4-pin PWM connector can be connected directly to the board. On the mainboard back, additional devices and components can be connected to the Biostar A320MD Pro via USB 3.0 and 2.0, Gigabit LAN, universal PS / 2 or three audio jacks for 7.1 sound via the I / O shield. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for display via an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): VGA and DVI-D.
